OutCasting; Considering the legacy of Larry Kramer
Description:
June 1, 2020 – Larry Kramer died on May 27, 2020. He was an author, screenwriter, and playwright, but was perhaps best known as a towering if controversial figure in AIDS activism. In 1983, he co-founded Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC), an organization that serves the needs of people with AIDS. In 1987, he co-founded ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), an activist group committed to direct action to end the AIDS pandemic. [p] On this edition of OutCasting Overtime, OutCaster Sarah reflects on the life and activism of this complex and often contradictory man and his relevance to young LGBTQ people today.
